Incoming Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he wouldn’t use the palatial office in Buda Castle that his predecessor Viktor Orban refurbished for himself, repudiating one of the longtime premier’s signature projects.

Magyar said in a post on social media on Thursday that he’d work from a ministerial building near parliament on the other side of the River Danube.
